On the eve of the changing of the seasons, near the point of equilibrium between light and darkness,MUTEK MX presents Equinoccio, an experience of listening and contemplation filled with symbolism to mark a new beginning.
From the volcanic material of the Museo Anahuacalli, a space conceived to connect the underworld with the Sun, to the artistic curation, which weaves together three presentations with a powerful spiritual component, Equinoccio will be a unique alignment of energy, architecture, time, and creation. A ritual to welcome Spring and usher in MUTEK MX in its new format.
A continuous soundscape for transformation
Experimental pianist Kelly Moran (USA), producer, DJ, and researcher Delia Beatriz aka Debit (Mexico), and Arushi Jain (India), a classically trained singer and modular synthesis composer, are the artists invited to guide the ritual. Each performance will be a unique element within the sonic constellation of Equinoccio: three live acts as a continuous process of invocation, transition, and transformation.
Kelly Moran presents Don't’ Trust Mirrors
Since 2016, Kelly Moran has unleashed her technical virtuosity in a powerful torrent of emotion, imagination, and otherworldly sensations using prepared piano, synthesizers, and a strong visual art presence (Kelly experiences synesthesia). Already a mainstay of Warp Records, where she has released her three seminal albums, Kelly returns to MUTEK MX in conjunction with Equinoccio, presenting the live audiovisual performance of Don’t Trust Mirrors (Warp, 2025), an allegory of reflection, distortion, and reconnection with oneself, featuring an altered concert grand piano, synthesizers, and visuals created by Katharine Antoun.
Arushi Jain Live
Devotion to humanity through machines. Arushi Jain's practice combines computer science, a background in Indian classical music, and her sensitivity for extracting essence from an arsenal of synthesizers. Her musical training in New Delhi and her technical and creative expansion in Brooklyn, where she currently lives, are reflected in two albums for Leaving Records and the live performance that brings her to Mexico for the first time. In her most recent explorations, Arushi takes the foundations of Raga Bageshri (in Indian classical music, a raga is a melodic structure used to represent moods) to invoke, through modular synthesizers and her hypnotic voice, the infinite capacity to desire, to yearn, to love.
Debit presents Desaceleradas
As Debit, producer, DJ, and researcher Delia Beatriz leaps through time. With each project, she brings past and future scenarios into the present, deconstructed and reconstructed through electronic music. Dark ambient, noise, or soundscapes: labels that dissolve to give way to profound narratives based on archival research. For Equinoccio, she presents Desaceleradas, the live performance of her most recent album for the Modern Love label. In this timeline, Debit distills memories —her own and those of the collective— of rebajada cumbia and her native Monterrey, through recordings of the iconic Sonido Dueñez transformed into aural vignettes full of atmospheres and reverberations.
